W. P. Frarnbes WesternManager

If you want to live in the kind of a town, Like the kind of a town you like, You needn't slip your clothes in a grip And start on a long, long hike, For you'll only find what you've left behind, There's nothing that's really new, ft's a knock at yourself when you lorock your town, It isrt't your town-it's YOU. ,F*t

So wrote a man named W. T. Denniston, about twentyfive years ago. Denniston was publicity man at Spokane, Washington, for, the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. Then he went to Houston, Texas, where he was Associate Editor of The GULF COAST LUMBERMAN for a time. When he first wrote "It fsn't Yor-r Town-ft's You," the thing caught and spread. Recognizing the little poem as the cleverest city-boosting rhyme that had ever come down the pike, Chambers of Commerce and other townboosting and city-building organizations all over the country, began quoting it. There were two stanzas, the first, the one above, the second going like this:

**rf

Real towns are not made by merr afraid That somebody else gets ahead, When everyone works and nobody shirks You can raise a town from the dead. And so, while you make your personal stake, If your neighbor should make one too, Then your town will be what you want it to be, For it isn't your town-it's YOU. ***

Denniston's little poem was printed and reprinted literally thousands of times. I have no recollection of anything of the kind that got such general reproduction. They changed the word town to club, and civic clubs use it to boost their organizations. Other use of much the same sort was made of it. The little poem swept backward and forward over the country. For a time Denniston's name would appear with it. That did not last long. The name of the author was soon lost; but the little poem continued to do yeoman service for city boosters up to this very day. ***

This is Chamber of Commerce annual meeting time all

over the country. Lumbermen generally are members of their local Chambers. Any lumberman who isn't, should join. Lumbermen are naturally cooperators with other good men, and they are naturally civic minded. The Chamber of Commerce is the only method by which civic minded p€ople can group themselves together to think and act cooperatively for the benefit of their home town. No town of any size should be without its Chamber I and no Chamber should be without its strong lumber members. Aside from the civic importance of such membership, no man benefits more from successful association and citybuilding activity than the builders of the city. So lumbermen have selfish as well as unselfish motives for helping strengthen their local Chamber of Commerce. ***

Tom Dreier says that strong and live citizens do not "get behind" their Chambers of Commerce; that it is the other way, the Chamber of Commerce following behind strong leadership in its citizenship. "Fortunately" said Dreier, "there are Chambers with a damn-the-torpedoes-go-ahead spirit. Their leaders have social vision. They are fearless." This kind of Chamber of Commerce plays a definite part in the life and growth of the city.

The famous Kansas ":r.;, l"urr"* Allen white, who expresses himself strongly, forcefully, but interestingly whenever he speaks, used to make a Chamber of Commerce speech that contained one paragraph that is worth 'knowing and quoting. I am not certain that the average Chamber of Commerce can use it without taking a chance of offending some thin-skinned member, but it's good. Here 'tis: "The Chamber of Commerce modifies the innate cussedness of the average selfish, hard-boiled, picayunish, pennypinching, narron/-gauge human porker; lifts up his snout, makes him see farther than his home, his business, or his personal interest, and starts him rooting for his community. A man, no matter how greedy or squint-eyed he may be, cannot work a year on a committee of his town's Chamber of Commerce without being a better father, a better husband, and a better citizen." That paragraph needs no elucidating. It speaks for itself. And I have no doubt that it speaks the truth. Time and again I have noticed men

(Continued from Page 6) who accepted doubtingly and falteringly a Chamber of Commerce assignment, and ended up by working their enthusiastic heads off after they got started.

Where did the cr,"-J" l, lo--""ce idea come from? Who originated it, and when? I cannot speak with authority on that sqlject. But I CAN utter an opinion. I think it was an Athenian named Themistocles. Ever hear of him? Sure you have. If you want to brush up your acquaintance right quickly, you will find his history the very first one in the front of the greatest of all ancient books of biography, "Plutarch's Lives." Several hundred years before the Christian era, Themistocles lived. He was statesman and soldier, and also something of a philosopher. His mother was born in a land outside of Greece, which made her a despised alien.' National lines were closely drawn in those days. But when her son came to his glory in Athens, whenever another woman would point a finger at her and call her "alien," she would draw herself up proudly and reply; "Yes, but the mother of Themistocles." And that was sufficient answer. She had borned a great man. Now to the Chamber of Commerce application of this story of Themistocles.

one day in a great ,";":"J"f peopte, many had taken turns entertaining the crowd with musical instruments. Finally they asked Themistocles what he could do to entertain. And hear what he said: "I cannot play upon any stringed instrument" said Themistocles, "but I can tell you how to make a city grow." Unfortunately the writers of old went no further with the story. Whether or not they took the great man up on his offer, and what he said if they did, is lost in the dark clouds of the past. Too bad some enterprising journalist could not have been there to take down the notes, and leave to posterity the secret of city building that Themistocles said he knew. Ever since I first read that remark of the great Athenian I have regretted that no report was made of his opinion. Did he really know something

important, something practical, something inspiring that others could use who wanted to build their home town?

One man's guess on the subject is as good as another's. We will never know what Themistocles thought he lsrew. But my guess is that he was simply going to tell them THIS fact: that men grow from within, and not from without. And a city, being simply a group of men, do the same, and grow the same way. When a Chamber of Commerce starts in to work in behalf of its home town, it must never forget that ambition and common sense go ever hand in hand. One of its initial jobs is to see that the citizenship does not get the bad habit of being too well satisfied with things as they are, willing to let well enough alone; or to assume that the future of the town depends on the winds of chance. ft is true that the Bible says that "the race is not always to the swift, nor yet the battle to the strong," but some modern wise cracker says he still recommends them as the best bets. Godlike restlessness is what makes all the progress of the world. The universe itself seems to be the result of God's unrest. Had He been satisfied with things as they were, He would never have taken the trouble to make it.

Someone asked the gteat electrical wizard, Steinmetz, how a young man might best work to achieve success, and he replied: "Do not try to see how fast you can make your machine run, but try rather to see how perfectly you can tune it and line it and make it operate; then the speed will take care of itself." That's my idea of what the Chamber of Commerce, particularly in a small town, can do. Don't start in to make that town bulge from the outside; start in to make it strong, and friendly, and happy, and healthy from the inside. Every forward stride of man or toutn, begins with an honest self-inventory. I think the difference between a bum town and a boom town is often the difference in the Chamber of Commerce. Just because your town is outstripping my town, or my town is forging ahead of your town, does not necessarily mean that the faster grow-

It usually mcans that the fast growing town has a cooperative citizenship who love and believe in it, and have the courage to put their shoulders and, heads together to work out their own problems. If you should see a great rock rolling heavily UP a hill, you wouldn't have to go round behind it to krow that some force back there was pushing to beat the band, would you? And whenever you see a city that is doing the same thing, you can come to the same conclusion that you would with regard to the rock. You know that there are strong and earnest and courageous men working together to make the thing happen. The good things of the world don't just happcn, to men or cities.

You may have guessed that part of my reason for writing in this way at this time is to help the many lumbermen who may have Chamber of Commerce speeches to make at this season. That's one of the reasons. The other is to help the lumber folks get started on thcir New Year Chamber of Commerce activities. If you haven't got 'ern, get 'em. The best Chamber of Commerce story I ever heard was uttered by a farmer. This was many years ago. I think things have changed a lot since then. He was regretting that the coolnration was not close enough betwcen the

business men of the average agricultural city, and the farmers of the county around. He told of a town where there was a Chamber of Commerce for the business men, and a Farmers' Association Each met twice a month in the evening. There was only one town hall, so both met there, but on different nights. A farmer got his dates mixed, and one night he knocked at the door of the hall, while the Chamber of Commerce was in session. The keeper of the gate slid the peekhole open, and asked for the countersign. The farmer replied: "We plow; we sow; w€ r€?p." The puzzled gatekeeper asked him to repeat it. The farmer did: "We plow; we sow; we reap:" The gate keeper saw uftat had happened, and as he slid the peekhole shut hd said: "Go to H-ll, you poor farmer." The puzzled farmer went back and met another farmer, and related what had happened. The other fellow told him that he was in on the wrong night, and that that was the Chamber of Commerce he had tried to get into. "And do you mean to tell me," said the second farmer, "that you. gave our password to the Chamber of Commerce?" "I did" said the first farmer, "and the Chamber of Commerce gave their password to me.tt

But, as previously stated, such conditions were only in the old days. Today close coolrcration between the Chamber and the county farmers is one of the esscntials to succeaaful operation of the Chamber.

Truthful Chinese

A Chinaman is much like a country negro. Don't ever ask him a direct question, if you don't want a direct and truthful reply. The fact that the answer may not be fattering to him who asks the guestion, does not enter into the proposition in the least. Jimmy Swinnerton says that a Navajo Indian is the same way. He'll tell you the truth, regardless of how embarrassing it may be. But this is a Chinese story.

Eastern Inquiry Gets Quiclc Action

The belief that Redwood lumber is still manufactured around Redwood City evidently still prevails in some parts of the East. This was indicated recently by a postal card from a home owner in Mount Vernon, N. Y., addressed to "Any California Redwood Lumber Co., Redwood City, California," asking for some Redwood paneling.

The Redwood City post office delivered the card to Gray-Thorning Lumber Co. This firm turned it over to Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Co., and the latter concern instructed its Eastern agents to see that the inquirer gets what he wants.

Red Cedar Shingle Bureau Holds 24th Annual Convention

Paul R. Smith of the M. R. Smith Lumber & Shingle Co., Seattle, was elected president of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau at the organization's 24th annual convention in Seattle, January 10. He succeeds retiring president R. M. Ingram of the E. C. Miller Cedar Lumber Co., Aberdeen, who was outstandingly successful during his two years in office.

Ralph Wayland of the Wayland Mill Co., Seattle, and H. V. WhittaU of the Huntting-Merritt Shingle Co., Vancouver, B. C., were elected vice-presidents. Bureau Secretary-Manager W. W. Woodbridge was re-elected.

The all-day sessions were attended by approximately 200 shingle manufacturers, assembled from throughout the Pacific Northwest. They heard addresses by three outstanding figures in the lumber and allied fields-W. H. Badeaux, secretary of the Iowa Lumbermen's Association, Frederick J. Woodridge, member of the New York architectural firm of Evans, Moore & Woodbridge, and B. L. Johnson, editor of American Builder magazine.

One of the features of the meeting was the premier showing of the Bureau's all-color, all-talking travelogue movie, "Land of the Totem." It reflects a new trend in industrial films and was enthusiastically received, by its first audience.

Sash and Door Wholesalers Play Golf

Glenn Fogleman, The California Door Company, was the winner of the Membership Trophy, donated by the Sampson Company, at the golf tournament held by the Wholesale Sash and Door Association oI Southern California at the Altadena Golf Club, Pasadena, Wednesday afternoon, January 22. This is the third time that Glenn has won the trophy and he now has permanent possession of it.

Ted Lee, The R. J. M. Co., was the winner of the Guest Trophy, donated by the West Coast Screen Co.

The special prize, nearest to the cup on the fifth green in the drive from the tee, was won by Gene DeArmond, Pacific Cabinet Co., and he was presented with a weather coat, donated by the Association.

Vic Gram, W. P. Fuller & Co.; J. W. Mcleod, Cadwallader-Gibson Co., Inc., and "Dave" Davis, Union Lumber Company, were the winners of the blind bogey prizes.

Winners in the various other events were presented with golf balls donated by Frank Gehring, Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Company, and the Association.

Dinner was served in the Club House at 6:30 p.m. and was followed by the presentation of the prizes by Earl Galbraith, who acted as toastmaster. Bill Sampson, chairman of the Golf Committee, gave a brief talk.

There was a nice turnout, 47 playing golf and 61 present for dinner.

Unusual Uses for Wolmanized Lumber

With its ability to withstand decay and termite attack Wolmanized Lumber has a great variety of uses. Two odd services being performed were recently reported.

In one case it is being used by Warren & Bailey Co. of Los Angeles in the form of spikes to hold together laminated slabs of cork installed in their refrigeration units. Metal fasteners corroded and failed within a short time under the moist condition found in these coolers. and spikes of monel metal or copper being too expensive for this work, wood pegs were tried. These also failed from attacks by moulds and fungi, but a perfect solution was found in the use of Wolmanized wood pegs. These are of different sizes, some as small as ordinary meat skewers, and others up to 10 inches in length and half an inch in diameter. They are used as spikes to hold the insulation in place. No failures have occurred and no further attention to the installations has been necessary.

In the other case the Alderman Company, fnc., Pasadena, has a system of ant control involving the use of many cups containing ant poisons. The cups are nailed to wood stakes. These stakes, being set close to the foundation walls of houses where water is used to irrigate plants and shrubs, caused endless trouble through failure by reason of decay and termite damage. Maintenance being on an annual basis the cost was too high for profitable operation until they began to use Wolmanized stakes, thousands of which are now in service. Cost is now reduced to a minimum through elimination of replacements.

Red Rivcr Places Largest Order for Logging Truck Equipment

Westwood, Calif., January 22, 1941.--:lhe purchase of 22

G.M.C. Diesel logging trucks by The Red River Lumber Company is the largest order ever placed for logging truck equipment, according to the statement of F. A. Hoyt, Zone Manager of General Motors Truck and Coach Division. With P. W. trailers, specially designed for this operation, built by Pointer-Willamette, Portland, Oregon, these transportation units require an investment of a quarter million dollars.

The G.M.C.2-cycle Diesel motor is designed on the same principle as the motors that drive streamlined trains, subchasers and busses. Developed by General Motors for heavy duty transportation, they have a high performance and economy and low fire risk. Power is delivered to the two rear axles of the three-axle truck. Trucks and trailers will be equipped with lO-foot bunks for non-public highway haulittg. Average loads will be ten thousand feet with a log weight of 7l lbs. per foot, but a much heavier load is within the truck's capacity.

The Pointer-Willamette trailers incorporate a number of improvements and new features, including lower load suspension, separate wheel spring mountings giving a "kneeaction" effect and improved air-braking.

Each truck and trailer will run on 18 Firestone 11x22 inch tires of the Logger Excavator type.

This equipment will go into service with the opening of

the Spring logging season on the Moonlight Canyon tract, east of Westwood and extending through I94l-42 into the Light's Creek tract. The longest haul will be 28 miles and if double shifts are run it is estimated that six trips per day can be maintained, according to Keith Merrill, Logging Superintendent. The Red River Lumber Company is building a24 foot ballasted road to Light's Creek which will probably be oiled. This road has a maximum adverse grade of 3 per cent and a maximum favorable grade of 7 per cent.

For this operation two Osgood Loaders are being built by Six Robblees, fncorporated of Seattle. These are traveling loaders with a boom swinging through 360 degrees to lift logs from both sides of the road. Tractors will deliver logs at any convenient point along the road with no specified landings. This method of loading gives more freedom of movement to the trucks which on this job will be run on a time table schedule.

Special shop facilities and organization are being developed for the maintenance and service of this fleet of trucks.

"This is another step in economical log transportation," said T. S. Walker, Vice President and Manager of the Lumber Division, "based on our experience with trucks both company-owned and contractor-owned. Larger units and better roads reduce logging costs. For the operation in the Light's Creek area comparison of costs favor this type of truck hauling over railroad construction and operation."

THE FOOL'S PRAYER

By E \[I. Sill

The royal feast was o'er, the king Sought some new sport to banish care, And to his jester cried "Sir Fool Kneel thou, and make for us a prayer t"

The jester dropped his cap and bells And stood that mocking court before, They could not see the bitter smile Beneath the painted sHn he wore.

He bowed his head and bent his knee Upon the Monarch"s silken stool, His pleading voice arose "Oh Lord Be merciful to me, a fool.

No pity, Lord, can change the heart

From red with wrong to white as wool, The rod must heal the sin; but Lord Be merciful to me, a fool !"

"'Tis not by guilt the onward sweep Of truth and right, Oh Ircrd, we stay, 'Tis by our follies that so long, We hold the earth from Heaven away. These clumsy feet still in the mire, Go crushing blossoms without end, These hard, well-meaning hands we thrust Amongst the heart-strings of a friend."

"The ill.timed truth we might have kept, Who knows how sharp it pierced and stung? The word we had not sense to sayWho knows how grandly it had rung? Our faults no tenderness should ask, The chastening stripes must cleanse them all, But for our blindness-Oh, in shame Before the eyes of Heaven we fall."

"Earth bears no balsam for mistakes. Men crown the knave, and scourge the tool That did his will; but Thou, Oh Lord Be merciful to me, a fool !"

The room was hushed. fn silence rose The King, and sought his gardens cool, And walked apart, and murmured low"Be merciful to me,---a fool !"

A BUSINESS CYNIC'S LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

"To my wife I leave her lover and the knowledge that I wasn't the fool she thought f was."

"To my son I leave the pleasure of making a living. For 35 years he has thought the pleasure was mine."

"To my daughter I leave $100,000. She will need it. The only good piece of business her husband ever did, was to marry her."

"To my valet I leave the clothes he has been stealing from me regularly for the past ten years; also my fur coat that he wore last year when f was South."

"To my chauffeur I leave my cars. He has almost ruined them and I want him, to have the satisfaction of finishing the job."

"To my partner I leave the suggestion that he take some clever man in with him at once if he expects to do any business."

Trees and Men

Beaten by the storms of a hundred years, twisted and gnarled, meagrely sustained by the sterile soil in the seams of unyielding rock, with the will to live and live well, the lone Cedar stands on the Canyon rim and windswept plateau, lifting its branches in grateful supplication for the miracle of life.

In the mountain forest, rank on rank, stand stately Pines old, as the lives of men are measured, when the PilAmerica's shores the seeds of

fn the silence and loneliness of endless time, keeping a vigil with life measured in units of a thousand years, the Sequoia, in transcendant majesty awaits a destiny yet unrevealed.

Silently they watch and patiently wait as generations of men ceaselessly come and fatefully pass.

For the scientists they hold a picture of the past and a vision of the future; meditation and wisdom for the philosopher; ethereal chords of wondrous harmony for the musician; a temple of intricate beauty for the devout; for all mankind inspiration, shelter and security.

May the fibre of their substance symbolize the bond of enduring friendship and good-will that is ours.

Redwood Grove Reported Found in Yolo County

'Walter N. Baker, popular manager of the Woodland Lumber Company, Woodland, Calif., has sent us a newspaper clipping from The Woodland Democrat, stating that a Redwood grove is reported found in Yolo County. And Walter says: "Which bears out our statement that we are located in 'The Garden Spot of America.' " The newspaper clipping follows:

"Archie Oliver, western Yolo county rancher, is sure now that just about everything grows in Yolo county.

"Mr. Oliver says his nephew Harvey Stotts has discover-

ed a large grove of redwood trees six miles west of Rumsey in Bear canyon. The ranch owner later made a trip up the canyon and found thousands of trees, he said, some of them 20 to 30 feet high.

"The grove can be reached by car except for the last three miles which must be traveled on foot.

"Mr. Oliver says he will bring a piece of one of the trees to Woodland as evidence after flood waters recede in the atea."

ResidentialConstruction in Northern California Shows Steady Increase

Home owners in Northern California invested approximately $1000 a minute each business hour during l94O to own a piece of this good earth and a house upon it, according to mortgages selected for appraisal by the district office of the Federal Housing Administration.

A review of applications for mortgage insurance submitted from the 46 counties of the local district reveal that mortgages were selected for appraisal at the rate of. 12 an hour, or one every five minutes, each office hour during the year.

With 24,3@ mortgages, totaling $l0F.,IO2,lO7, the average amount involved in each was slightly more than $4366. This, plus land values or the cost of building lot, represents an average total investment of approximately $500O for each mortgage selected for appraisal.

Despite the large and increasing volume, losses in this district due to the failure or inability of borrowers to carry out their contracts were said to be practically negligible during the more than six years of FHA operations.

"The healthy condition of our local home market is due in large measure to the Federal Housing program which provides for monthly purchase payments well within the reach of average families," in the opinion of D. C. McGinness, district director. "Protection for home owners and lending institutions under this plan has reassured the public as to the safety of owning homes, and has attracted capital back into the field of home mortgage loans.,,

The Houston Lumberwomcn

By Mrs. Herschel Cochran *

In October, 1939, a group of Houston, Texas, women interested in the lumber industry met for the purpose of organizing a fraternity. This meeting culminated in the only organization of its kind in the southern states, The 'Houston Lumberwomen.

Tlris organization serves a two-fold purpose. It promotes .fellowship amoirg lumbermen's wives, and it facilitates their 'study of the various phases of the lumber industry in Texas.

Since this was the fifth attempt to organize the lumberwomen of Houston, the lumbermen were a wee bit skeptical of our success. Through the combined efforts of our women, a few wholesalers, The Gulf Coast Lumberman, Neal Pickett (former secretary of the Lumbermen's Association of Texas) and, last but not least, F. W. Sternenberg, president of the Lumbermen's Association of Texas, our organization has increased in membership more than 50O per cent in a year's time. Now the lumbermen have become enthusiastic about our progress and the results lve are obtaining. We have a membership representation from approximately 85 per cent of the lumber yards in IIouston.

Our luncheons once a month are attended by approximately sixty-five wives of the active lumber dealers in Houston. These luncheon programs are planned in quarterly cycles. The first month in the quarter is devoted to the business of our organization; the second month to our educational program; the third month is purely social rvith our fellowship ,chairman in charge.

Without contributions other than our yearly' dues ($3.00) we have placed our organization on a self-supporting basis. Our educational features have included an extensive study of the history of the lumber industry in Texas, a study of the manufacture of lumber, this being followed by a visit to a sawmill where we actually saw lumber in production; and at our luncheon a moving picture was shown with an 'accompanying lecture. Also, we have had lectures concerning the preservation of lumber rvith an open forum followirg. Oui fellowship or social programs have been varied 3o as not to become boresome. The three dances sponsored by our Organization (one a Red Cross Benefit) have each been attended by more than three-fourths of the lumbermen of Houston and their rvives.

We enjoyed the distinction of having a representative of our organization appear on the program of the State Lumbermen's Convention in Fort Worth, Texas, in April, 194O. She was the first non-professional and the second woman ever to speak before this association in its fifty-five years of existence. As a result of this we received inquiries from cities in Texas and several other states for facts concerning our organization; and we hope that this expression of interest means that more organizations of this kind will be created. I might add that we have also been invited to participate in next year's Lumbermen's Convention, assisting

Houston Lumbersomen's lirst cnuiverscrry luncheon. the lumber dealers of Galveston, Texas, who will be hosts.

The results obtained from The Houston Lumberwomen's organization are as follows: first, a closer contact and personal feeling among the wives of the men in the lumber industry; second, a deeper insight into, and ap:preciation of the lumber industry, which is second only to the oil industry in Texas; and, third, a mutual understanding between husband and wife concerning an industry so vital to each of them.

We who have spent much time and effort in organizing our Houston Lumberwomen are proud of our results and feel that the benefits derived have repaid us more than a thousand-fold.

Beautiful Calendar

One of the most interesting and beautiful 1941 calendars to be received at the office of this paper was that of the South Sound Lumber Sales, Inc., of Seattle and Los Angeles.

The illustration, reproduced from the original painting by the American artist, Grif Teller, is of the oldest sawmill in North America. The mill is pictured as the artist found it after an early winter snowfall-stained and weatherbeaten, but still operating in its 254th year of continuous service. Only 68 years after the Mayflower reached the New World this little mill was set up on the banks of Silver Mine stream in southwest Connecticut, and the swift waters have never failed to keep its saws going.

*Mrs. Cochran, who lvas the Club's first president, is the wife of the Celotex representative in Houston.

U. S. Defense Production Under John D. Biggers

The production end of mobilization of this country's industrial forces for defense is under the direction of a representative of the glass industry, John D. Biggers, president of the Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Company.

Mr. Biggers, who has been chief aide to William S. Knudsen, since President Roosevelt created the National Defense Advisory Committee, is now head of the production division of the new Office of Production Management. Mr. Biggers was appointed following the president's decree empowering the new Office of Production Management (OPM) to handle all production problems to speed defense, to co-ordinate requirements of foreign governrirents, the Army and Navy, to organize the placing of defense orders, to assure supplies of raw materials and to serve as liaison between the Army and Navy and the NDAC, which will continue in existence.

While most of his time is spent in Washington, Mr. Biggers remains close to his own company's regular activities and continues as president.

Under the twin direction of Mr. Knudsen, director general, and Sidney Hillman, associate director general, with Secretary of War Stimson and Secretary of the Navy Knox as members, the OPM has three divisions, that headed by Mr. Biggers; purchases, in charge of Donald M. Nelson, NDAC defense buying co-ordinator, and priorities, headed by Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., NDAC raw materials chief, who heads a six-man priorities board to rule on such purchases.

As Director of Production, Mr. Biggers has the responsibility of assisting private manufacturers in keeping to schedules in production of defense materials totaling many millions of dollars in the next 24 months.

fn a press conference called to explain the functioning of his new division, Mr. Biggers disclosed in Washington that production of military airplanes in December totaled 799, or 99 more than had been predicted for that month by Director Knudsen.

Mr. Biggers said that he felt that Mr. Knudsen's prediction had "jolted everybody into intensified activity."

In giving his description of the new production division, Mr. Biggers said it would operate "in between procurement and inspection," or in that field of production following the award of contracts by the Army and Navy and the point where articles finished under contract were ready for delivery.

'We are going to make the utmost use of organizations that exist and step in to help them as problems develop," said Mr. Biggers. "'When we see a choke point coming, it is our duty to step in and try to help avoid disaster." He emphasized that there would be no attempt to duplicate work being done already, saying: "We think that duplication, where unnecessary, is dangerous and destructive. "If all else fails, then your last resort. is priority," he said.

On the eve of a national plant facilities census week, Mr. Biggers, in a radio address, said: "Every productive potentiality of every manufacturing unit, no matter how

Dealers Cash in on Sales of Palco Redwood Septic Tanks

During 1940 dealers throughout the West increased their sales of Palco Redwood Sectional Septic Tank and Drain 42.15 per cent over the previous year, which was an all time record, according to Max E. Cook, director of sales promotion for The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco.

"The sale of 9' tanks was increased 42 per cent over 1939; and whereas there were formerly sold approximately an equal number of 6' and 9' tanks, a significant record of improved product acceptance is reflected last year in the sales of more than two 9' tanks for every one of the smaller ca= pacity or 118 per cent more 9's than 5's," Mr. Cook states.

"This has been helpful in securing and maintaining warranted recognition ftom health authorities, who are striving to gain more capacity in septic tanks. The Palco tank has a capacity four times greater than the average tank previously sold.

"Acceptance and demand for Palco Septic Tanks and Drain is no longer limited to California. Nevada and Utah dealers made 12 per cent of 1940 sales. New Mexico shows an increasing demand with ll per cent of total sales for the year, and the equivalent of 30 tanks were shipped to Alaska. New business has also been developed in Oregon and Washington.

"Dealers who wish to take advantage of the opportunity to cash in on septic tank sales in 1941 can get full information by writing to The Pacifi,c Lumber Company, 100 Bush Street, San Francisco.

He came to California in l92O and formed the California Sugar & White Pine Agency in San Francisco and was president and manager of that organization. He retired in l9N.

He was a director of several banks and was president of the W. R. Sayre Lumber Co. of San Francisco. IIe was a director of the California Cedar Products Co. of Stockton.

Mr. Sayre was the father of two well known San Francisco Bay district lumbermen, W. R. Sayre of the W. R. Sayre Lumber Co., San Francisco, and Frederick R. Sayre of Sterling Lumber Co., Oakland. He is also survived by his widow, Mrs. Isabel L. Sayre, two daughters, Mrs. Florence Wist and Mrs. Edith Sandoe, and a third son, Raymond W. Sayre.

Used for Office Walls

Effective use of Cal-Board hardwood panels has been made in the interior decoration of the enlarged and remodeled office of L. H. Eubank & Son, Inglewood, manufacturers of Eubank Ironing boards, cabinets and mantels.

Unselected Gum was chosen for the 4' wainscot and above that height rotary cut Birch was used. A wax finish was applied.

Cal-Board is a sound one side grade 3-ply hardwood plywood, surfaced with figured hardwoods with the exception of the Philippines which have softwood cores and backs. These panels are manufactured in great volume in one standard grade and size (4'x8'sheets), thus bringing the luxury of genuine hardwood paneling to the economy field of interior decoration.

Many lumber dealers all over the country have found a stock of Cal-Board panels to be a good investment and that these are easily sold both for new construction and for remodeling walls of living rooms, libraries, dens and rumpus rooms,

Cal-Board panels are made in eight varieties of fine woods, Birch, unselected Gum, ribbon grain Philippine, rotary cut Philippine, Tabasco Mahogany, plain red Oak, Elm and sliced Walnut. They are distributed exclusively in Southern California by California Panel & Veneer Company, 955 South Alameda Street, Los Angeles.
